Howl's Moving Castle

Howl no Ugoku Shiro · ハウルの動く城

AdventureDramaFantasy2004Studio GhibliRating 8,70+HD

Sophie stitches hats in her family's shop and figures that is all her life will ever be. Then a walking castle clanks past the rooftops, all hissing pipes and groaning timber, and the wizard inside has a reputation for collecting girls' hearts. One evening he steps out of nowhere and pulls her away from two soldiers who will not take no for an answer. Blue eyes, easy smile. She is done for. Except the Witch of the Waste has been nursing a grudge against Howl for years, and watching him rescue some hatmaker's daughter pushes her right over the edge. She corners Sophie and curses her into a ninety year old body. Just like that, a teenager is gone. Sophie limps out of town with no plan except to find the witch and beg her to undo it. What she finds instead is the castle itself, and inside it a fire demon bound to Howl by some bargain neither of them will explain, a scarecrow that hops along behind her, and a war swallowing the kingdom whole. Sophie takes the only job she can get in that house: cleaning. Does she ever tell Howl who she really is?
